Related: About this forumIs your state Democratic Party one of the 32 sellouts?
This is a follow-up to an OP cited at the very bottom. But to discover what the "Hillary Victory Fund" is and why it is so sleazy, you should read this WaPo article:

Bottom line: 32 states were persuaded/coerced into this infamous cabal last year. Here they are listed with the source being Hillary's website (see very bottom of linked page):
AK, AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NH, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI, and WY

Oh and by the way, DailyKos may have been sucked into the morass:

(14,195 posts)And he has had the party working hard to throw the race to Hillary. In the last election our party leaders wanted us to collect signatures to put Hillary on the ballot. No mention of O'Malley or Sanders. When I raised the question about parity, saying we should collect for all three in the interest of being unbiased as a state party, I was ignored. I took my concerns to the press and suddenly our dem committee said we 'could' collect signatures for all candidates.
'Could'.
